Syna Tiger Resort Opens in India

The Syna Tiger Resort opens today, following a
four-year development at a cost of approximately $1.8 million.

The luxury jungle resort, a member of the Great
Hotels of the World Luxury Collection, is located right on the
edge of Bandhavgarh National Park in central India.

Stretching
over 437 square kilometres, the surrounding forest was once the
hunting preserve of the Maharaja of Rewa, and renowned as the home
of the big cats. The resort serves as the ideal base from which
you can explore the territory of the Royal Bengal tiger.

The resort setting is picture perfect, with an
azure plunge pool surrounded by fifteen exclusive luxury cottages
and one signature tree-house, all complete with modern amenities,
network connectivity, private walled gardens and a jacuzzi.

The resort
offers a wealth of offerings including the Wildwood spa, which
provides guests with a variety of holistic and indigenous treatments, state-of-the-art fitness centre, pool, a restaurant
that serves international and local cuisine, and a bar.

The real
thrill of Bandhavgarh is the opportunity to see the big cats roam
freely in the jungle. The Syna Tiger Resort provides special guided jeep and elephant safaris with experienced naturalists who
aid in making trips more enriching. There are also various bird walks that guests can enjoy as well as separate cycling tracks.

Syna Tiger Resort also offers a naturally
inspiring venue for corporate clients, featuring a fully equipped,
modern day “tapovana” – an outdoor space for spiritual practice,
used for holding effective training programmes.

Syna Tiger also
has facilities to host weddings and banquets. The resort prides
itself on being eco-friendly by harvesting rainwater and
recycling.

The resort is free of plastic and no chemical is
allowed to seep back to the earth, via meticulous water treatment.
By using local produce, employing local people and utilising
locally relevant skills the resort keeps its carbon-footprint to a
minimal level.

Arpan Dutta, chairman of Modus
Vivendi Hospitality, said, ''This property is definitely one of
the finest. Syna Tiger Resort will set an example for other
resorts to follow. We aim to deliver the best of services with a
rural touch and have a rural kitchen concept where guests are
served authentic cuisine, cooked in a village style mud oven. Syna
Tiger Resort will take tourists’ expectations to a deeper and
higher level.''
